Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

My (early) birthday present from Marc was to go and see the Royal Military Tattoo.  We had unbelievable seats...facing the castle, with disability seating below us so there was a completely unobscured view.  It was jammed packed even though it was a preview night, and the media were invited.  They were running around on the floor trying to get shots of the performers throughout, and almost got run over by the pipers a few times when they didn't move fast enough!



The United States was well represented by the Navy's group, they are very talented musicians.  However I wasn't as thrilled with the theme...superhereos.  The played the theme music for popeye, dennis the menace (a superhero?), batman, and spiderman.  Throughout the castle was used as a screen to display images of the heroes....for batman they turned the castle into gotham.  It seemed tacky, but the crowd loved it.
